Postcard from Ibiza 🌴🌺

Hola from Ibiza!

As I sit here on a sun-drenched terrace overlooking the endless shimmer of the Mediterranean Sea, I can’t help but think of you and wish you were here to experience this magic with me. The island of Ibiza is everything I hoped for and more—wild yet peaceful, vibrant yet serene, full of life and still deeply connected to nature.

Each morning starts with sunlight pouring through my window, a golden invitation to explore. I’m staying in a little whitewashed villa near Santa Gertrudis, a charming village in the heart of the island. The town square is like a postcard itself, surrounded by cafés and art galleries, and filled with the sound of laughter, clinking coffee cups, and the strum of Spanish guitars. It feels like time slows down here, giving you permission to breathe, to savor, to simply be.

The beaches are the real stars of Ibiza. Yesterday, I ventured to Cala Comte, famous for its crystal-clear waters that shift from sapphire to emerald in the changing light. There’s something almost sacred about floating in that water, staring up at the cloudless sky, feeling completely weightless and free. Later, I stumbled upon a quieter cove, Cala d’en Serra, where rugged cliffs meet soft sand, and the only soundtrack is the gentle lapping of waves and the distant call of seagulls.

Of course, no visit to Ibiza would be complete without mentioning the sunsets. They truly are legendary. Every evening, the sky turns into a living painting, blending rich oranges, fiery reds, and delicate pinks in a breathtaking spectacle. Crowds gather at places like Café del Mar or on the beach at Benirràs, where drummers beat out hypnotic rhythms as the sun sinks below the horizon. It’s not just a sunset here—it’s a ritual, a celebration of another day lived under the Mediterranean sun.

Ibiza is famous for its parties, and yes, I dipped my toes into that side of the island too! One night, I found myself at an open-air club where world-renowned DJs sent waves of music rolling over a sea of smiling, dancing faces. The energy was contagious—pure joy, pure freedom. But what surprised me most was how diverse the crowd was: people of all ages, backgrounds, and styles, all united by music and the shared desire to let go of worries and just live.

Yet Ibiza’s true soul reveals itself in the quieter moments. I discovered the island’s spiritual side at a sunrise yoga session overlooking the cliffs of Es Vedrà, the mythical rock formation said to be the tip of the lost city of Atlantis. There’s something otherworldly about that place—the way the mist clings to the rock, the way the first rays of dawn touch its rugged face. Afterward, we shared herbal tea and stories with strangers who felt instantly like old friends.

The food here deserves a love letter of its own. Fresh seafood, juicy oranges, local goat cheese, and delicious “sobrasada” sausages fill every market and menu. Yesterday, I had the most amazing paella at a family-run restaurant tucked away from the touristy spots. The rice was rich and saffron-scented, the shrimp so fresh it practically melted in my mouth. Meals in Ibiza aren’t just about eating; they’re about gathering, about conversation, about lingering for hours over wine and laughter.

One of my favorite adventures so far was exploring Dalt Vila, the old town of Ibiza City. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it feels like stepping back in time. Narrow, winding streets climb up to a magnificent cathedral, and from the top, you can see the whole island spread out like a dream. The ancient stone walls, colorful doors, and hidden courtyards tell stories of pirates, traders, and dreamers who once called this island home.

Every day here feels like a gift, a reminder of how beautiful and varied life can be when we allow ourselves to wander, to explore without a strict plan. Ibiza has a way of teaching you to live in the moment, to dance when music floats on the breeze, to dive into the sea without a second thought, to trust that the next adventure is just around the corner.

As I get ready to leave in a few days, I know that part of me will stay here forever—dancing on the beaches, laughing under the stars, soaking up the sun, heart full of colors and music and the endless warmth of this incredible island.

Wish you were here to see it all.
Until then, sending you sun, salt, and so much love. 🌴🌺

Con todo mi cariño,
